Perfectionism
Jessica Anderson, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
Big changes—starting high school or college, changing schools, moving, or figuring out what comes next—can bring uncertainty, stress, and self-doubt. Even positive transitions can feel overwhelming. I help teens and young adults navigate these shifts with more clarity and confidence, building coping skills, resilience, and a stronger sense of direction so you can move forward feeling more grounded.

Perfectionism
Blair Pallas
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Perfectionism often feels like a shield, but it’s actually a weight that leaves you feeling "less than." When the fear of mistakes becomes paralyzing, my approach helps you identify the "all-or-nothing" stories keeping you stuck. Together, we’ll practice "imperfection" at a manageable pace, shifting the focus from impossible standards to your actual values. By learning to tolerate the discomfort of being human, you’ll gain the freedom to take risks and finally show up as your authentic self.

Perfectionism
Sarah Sternlieb
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Always feeling like you have to get things “just right” can be exhausting. You might look like you have it together on the outside, but inside there’s pressure, self-doubt, or fear of getting it wrong. For many people, this started earlier in life, where getting it right felt necessary. We explore where that pressure comes from and help you find a different way of relating to yourself.

Perfectionism
Dr. Berkeley Antonioli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, LCSW, LCSW-C, MEd
The majority of my training and clinical work has been focused on helping adults recover from early traumatic experiences. Often, the traumas my clients are working through is rooted in early relational and/or sexual experiences that leave a lasting impact on their formative developmental years and beyond. I've found that these early experiences often impact how clients have learned to operate and survive in relationships. Many have deep, toxic shame, about their authentic selves which often results in a high degree of perfectionism to avoid feeling that shame. In session, we can work through the multifaceted parts that drive perfectionism, and give that part of yourself permission to take on a new, more adaptive role.

Philadelphia's identity as a historically working-class city with deep neighborhood roots shapes its therapy culture, with demand for therapists who understand economic stress, community violence, and the psychological weight of living in a city marked by stark racial and economic disparities. The city is home to world-class institutions including the University of Pennsylvania Health System, Jefferson Health, and Temple University Hospital, with a strong academic psychiatry and psychology community feeding into its private practice ecosystem. Philadelphia's large Black and Latino populations drive demand for culturally affirming therapists, and the city has a growing network of therapists of color across its diverse neighborhoods. Many practices are accessible via SEPTA, making therapy more reachable for clients across the city without cars.
